These crosses have religious significance and mark the route of the Camino, offering pilgrims points of reference and devotion. These crosses were strategically placed along the Camino to help pilgrims follow the correct route. In many cases, they also indicate the distance to other points of interest or nearby towns.

This small, stone-built sacred monument, located in a highly exposed location, is named after "Santo Toribio." The cross, which rises above a multi-tiered base and a round column shaft, is dedicated to this 5th-century saint. The custom of placing a stone – actually common at the "Cruz de Ferro" – seems to have become established here as well. Besides the religious aspect, a stop on this hill is also worthwhile for the view; Astorga is about five kilometers away.
